We carry a wide array of RPGs! Of course we have D&D, but we also carry a wide range of smaller games like Magical Kitties Save the Day, Kids on Bikes, Call of Cthulhu, Mork Borg and many more. We also host games and make a great place to host yours.
Miniature Games
We love miniature games! Warhammer, Shatterpoint, MCP, Battletech, Malifaux. Let’s not talk about how many unpainted miniatures we all own, but we have the supplies to paint them.
Collectable Card Games
We carry Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Lorcana cards. We only sell them in store so we can offer the best deals to our regular customers.

For role players we carry a range of Reaper and Wizkid miniatures for RPGs as well as game accessories from 1984 games and terrain from Tenfold Dungeon.
If you still can’t find exactly what you need we do custom Resin and FDM 3D printing.
Play Space
Try out that game before you buy it or just meet friends at Board Bard Games to play.
Our play space is open and free to play any time we are open. If we are full for any reason we also allow our games to be taken to the nearby bars and restaurants for free (Normally a $5 rental charge). Take home rentals also available for $5 for 2 days.
We have a variety of drinks and snacks available, but we also welcome in outside food and drink because there are so many great restaurants in our neighborhood.
If you want to guarantee space or just have a little more privacy we have our castle room for rent for $20 for 4 hours you can book online. It fits 6 adults comfortably.
